Hello all I am doing some expiereimenting wiht pam and I just noticed something. If I have a system that is autheniticating off of an LDAP database and I want to change a user password as far as pam is concerned. It is only consulting the /etc/pam.d/passwd file. Or is it consulting another file. THe reason I ask is beause I was messing around in the file and it seems the only option that I need in order to change passwords is password sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so I was under the impression that it needed the auth, account statements Craig Hancock
